Clutch question

You think you're bad - I've just fitted a brand new clutch to my s12, and it slips like fcuk every time i floor it in 1st & 2nd. I'm a mechanic and fit clutches every day and i am puzzled.......

What clutch have you fitted?

Standard s12 clutch kit. I was going to fit a race clutch but i want to put money into getting the bodywork sorted. The car was barely drivable so i decide to fit the standard one for the moment. Still can't understand whats wrong though. If i floor it, it's fine til about 3000rpm then - nothing. i have to back of the power to regain drive

Hmm strange mate only thing i can think of is there grease or something on the friction plate but then again your a mechanic so im sure you would have made sure it was all clean and dry.
